  1. Cult of Charkha

    Orphan date August 2011 Cult of the Charkha is an essay by Rabindranath Tagore which first appeared in September, 1925 in the Modern Review. In the essay Tagore offered critique on the Gandhian ethic of Charkha spinning as an activity which could rejuvenate the Indian masses during the Indian independence movement. Context Rabindranath Tagore and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi were among the two most influential Indian figures during the freedom struggle of the Indian nation against the colonial rule of the British. Tagore became the first non European and only Indian to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 and was instrumental in reshaping Bengali literature and music. He was considered widely as a colossus of the Indian intelligentsia. Gandhi on the other hand emerged as the pre eminent political and ideological leader of India during the Indian independence movement . He was a mobilizer of the masses and respected and venerated across India as the Mahatma or Great Soul . Incidentally, Tagore is said to have accorded and popularized this title for Gandhi. The two men had great mutual respect for each other but often differed significantly on some issues. One such issue was Gandhi s call for spinning the Charkha as an activity which was to be the locus of the Swadeshi and Non cooperation movement .
